Quote from: JOE on Today at 12:18:34 PMChina may have interfere with Vancouver's mayoralty elections too. And not just with its current mayor Kenny Sim formosanF ormosan. I bet one of the previous mayors Gregor Roberson got in with their help too. He was a real hose bag & most people hated him. I never saw he got in all those times. His elections musta been rigged because I rarely met anybody who voted for him.

There's a lotta corruption in BC. Probably a lot more than Alberta. When they combine real estate and drugs anything can happen.

Don't you worry your pretty little head Sweetie. Daddy Thiel will protect you.

I really encourage to watch that when you have spare time.   It's bloody good.

I have heard that even popular resorts like Playa Del Carmen are no longer as safe anymore.

Quote from: Oerdin on Today at 02:13:39 PMNot sure for Oakland but the state wide Average is not much better.  In the 1960s California had the best public schools in the country, in the 1990s it was still top ten, but now after Dems have completely taken over the state it went to bottom three.

with the other two being democrat run shitholes - I'm sure

Shut them down?

Quote from: Oliver the Second on Today at 01:55:16 PMMcDonalds is grabbing all the cash they can just like everyone else. "Oh, we need to raise prices twenty percent to keep up with costs... so let's raise prices forty percent instead and pocket the difference. Customers are so stupid they'll figure it's all because of inflation."

Why you think these big corporations support democrats in the first place?

They say on the campaign trail they're going after billionaires and billionaires flock to donate to them.

why?

I'll tell you why.. because democrats are running one big Ponzi scheme with Taxpayer money and they are keeping that Ponzi scheme fueled courtesy of the abject stupidity you see abounding in people like Apefiary, TpOtF and that seamoron guy. Big Corp knows full well that by democrats raising their minimum wage by 25% the local joints are now allowed to raise their prices by 10-15% thus increasing margins by a significant factor.

Total cost of a 25% wage hike? Lets say it's 1000.00 a week in your average store. Profits increased via 10-15% hike in prices? 2000.00 for that same week.

net win for everyone but the consumer

that is of course, until the PONZI scheme collapses under it's own weight and the whole fucking economy crashes

and we all know what happens next don't we? Seen this one a million times. Big Corp, despite increased profitability, will run crying to big brother pointing to a manafactured lower stock price to justify a subsidy. ANd they'll get it too.

So now you'll have them making 1000.00 a week from higher prices. another 2000.00 a week from an already bankrupt treasury and the increased prices STILL wont go down as that will become the new norm.

if democrats truly cared about "a living wage" they'd bring down the prices on every inflated cost in their state. which is basically EVERYTHING. But they won't. Because that's not going to help their corporate puppeteers

Not sure for Oakland but the state wide Average is not much better.  In the 1960s California had the best public schools in the country, in the 1990s it was still top ten, but now after Dems have completely taken over the state it went to bottom three.

Don't spend your money there.

Quote from: Shen Li on Today at 12:54:27 AMI never go to McDonald's anywhere, but I looked it up and a Big Mac in Singapore costs $7.50 SG or a little over $8.00 CDN.

I think you are wrong about the price of Mick burgers in Canada. It more than eight bucks.
